Diane J Gores, LPC

Diane J Gores is a licensed professional counselor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, anger, and life transitions. She also supports those dealing with relationship strain, parenting concerns, addiction, grief, trauma and abuse, and work-related challenges. Diane mentions specific focus on issues like self-esteem, body image, social anxiety, and veteran and armed forces issues. Her approach is practical and goal-oriented.

Diane holds a master's degree in mental health counseling from Capella University and lists 12 years of combined experience in mental health. She practices in Georgia as an LPC - Licensed Professional Counselor - and has worked with people who feel stuck or unsure about their next step. That background shapes the way she structures sessions and sets goals with clients.

In sessions she uses clear, direct methods such as solution-focused work and cognitive behavioral techniques. She aims to help people move from where they are now toward where they want to be. Diane is straightforward about effort - therapy is not a quick fix and will involve action between meetings.

Her style is collaborative and encouraging. She offers practical steps and helps people explore options for coping and change. People who prefer concrete tools and short-term goal work often find this approach helpful.

Because Diane lists online practice and accepts international clients, people outside Georgia can consider working with her. Prospective clients should confirm current session formats before booking to ensure they match personal needs.

How Diane’s approaches work in online therapy

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and responding to what matters most to the person. The therapist follows the client's lead, reflects understanding, and helps build self-direction and confidence. This approach can help with feelings of emptiness, low self-esteem, and self-love concerns.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect. It teaches simple tools to test unhelpful thinking and to try new behaviors. CBT is often used for anxiety, depression, stress, and social phobia.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Diane will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and choose methods together. The plan can change as progress is made so the work stays practical and relevant.

Online therapy can make it easier to fit counseling into a busy life. It can reduce time spent traveling, allow for quicker check-ins during a lunch break, or make sessions possible when someone is living outside Georgia. The original profile indicates online practice but does not list specific session formats, so confirm the available formats before booking. Online work aims to deliver the same talk therapy, skill building, and goal planning that happen in person while fitting sessions into everyday routines.
